Not quite
Bali Governor I Wayan Koster told Reuters that Lavrov had briefly visited Sanglah Hospital in Bali for a "check-up" but that the minister was in good health.
"He was in good health and after the check-up he immediately left," the governor said.
The White House: At meeting in Ankara The Director of the CIA conveyed a warning message of the consequences of Russia's use of nuclear weapons to his Russian counterpart
Russia has been forewarned
Well, both require an evacuation 😄
you left out an 'a'
If this is reflective of Kremlin thinking, then the strategy behind the retreat from Kherson is "reculer pour mieux sauter" (move backwards to make a longer jump) i.e. they plan to return for another go once they've unfcuked themselves. "The whole of Ukraine still needs to be liberated". This is a warning that should be heeded, lest the western counties soften their stances in the wake of Ukrainian gains.
4 Russian servicemen wounded as result of shelling in Belgorod region of Russia
Fake news apparently
Defection?
Now would be a great time to start shipping ATACMS
They could be just probing to see what Russian forces are where in the area , pretty sure they have no problem putting a relative small number of men on a beach, while maintaining fire support, but I can't see then landing a decent enough number of vehicles and supplies to hold any ground yet ,they would be dangerously exposed in that particular area ,no real hard cover or fortifications that I can see
They don't do themselves any favours with their superiority complexes. I knew a well educated ethnic Russian from Uzbekistan and I recall being a bit shocked that she heavily implied that the Uzbeks were an inferior race of people. I've seen a lot of twitter threads from people in the Asian Republics talking about how the Russians in their countries have always been utterly dismissive of them, their language and their culture.
It's a bit like the very worst of the British attitudes to their "colonies" which makes me think it's some kind of colonial mindset. All the more reason to see them get humbled.
I would say that their lives depend on crawling out from wherever they were hiding, and putting up an impressive performance. I wonder which of them will fall out of the studio window, or have a cup of special tea?
Just because the international spotlight was not shone on what Wagner group were doing in other Country's, does not mean they were deliberately keeping it quiet. locals knew very well because terror was (and still is) one of their weapons, and for it to be effective, it has to be publicized. And it was, even if only locally.
Even before the invasion started, long before in fact, ethnic Russians were the most unpopular group in the republics. Any ethnic Russians in the minority in any of the Republic's will be in for a hard time if the federation breaks up.
It likely the UA are not trying to do a bridgehead. However 30k Russian troops left Khearson only 10k of them will be needed to hold the opposite bank. The Russian's would have planned to release the rest to fight further North maybe around Bakhmut. Now some will have to be diverted South to defend against a possible bridgehead and also the supply lines through Crimea. If that dose not happen the UA might well decide to actually go ahead with a proper bridgehead and trap the Russian army in a pincer movement or split the Crimea from the rest of the captured areas
Apparently, it was not the first time they have killed ( executed ) people with sledgehammers. It practically their trademark, they have killed people in Syria (and more than likely other Country's too) with sledge hammer's
They are primarily the Maritime wing of the SAS , very little difference between the two squadrons, while their primary role involves Maritime activities,they did spend extended times on land during Iraq , Afghanistan and fighting isis ,
But yes their primary role is special operations
this was a significant moment in Russia before the high of the end of the ussr was quashed
Metallica, AC/DC and pantera playing to the guts of a million people , you can see the earths curve 😂
Vladimir Solovyov looks like Russia's Dracula.
He was a mobilized convict.
Absolutely deluded these people, painting their state as victims - they really deserve some misery & destruction to be inflicted on the neighbourhoods they live in. And see then the reality of what their rogue terrorist state has started by invading it's neighbours.
Can you explain why you think SBS trainined soldiers makes SAS trained soldiers look tame ?
Aren't SBS-type troops used mainly for special ops, attacking key pieces of infrastructure and getting back out quickly? They're not the kind of troops you would use/risk for establishing a bridgehead.
Downfall parodies ftw
He was always a good diplomat ....Had to much of the kool aid in recent months
He went for a tox screen check up according to the local governor 😉

I think his ever diminishing relevancy & credibility is a bigger problem from him than being phased out by the Kremlin.
I was surprised to see Sergei Lavrov back in the headlines, again regarding his trip to Bali - I had the feeling he was being phased out, unless I wasn't reading enough news...
Moscow call it fake news
Lavrov hell await u and other kremlin gangsters
Stay away from the windows... well, now wait a minute... I understand Bali is very photogenic, Lavrov should be looking out his hospital window as often as he can.
The only Russian one needs to know when discussing Russia is nekulturny. As you can probably guess, it means 'uncultured' and historically it has been used in Russia to describe/denigrate those from the village or from abroad. It is one of the worst insults you can deliver in Russia. The middle class Muscovites' innate, historical paranoia about being considered nekulturny helps explain their fixation with more cerebral art and activities such as ballet, chess and literature to the exclusion of lower forms of entertainment such as rock music and blockbuster cinema. But the truth will out eventually and Russia in Ukraine has reconfirmed to the world that they are inexorably nekulturny.
